We do the same thing.  One thing I do here also is run my guest Wi-Fi
through the same content filter my corporate users use with a slightly more
relaxed rules set.  This becomes a great deterrent for my internal users
bringing in their personal devices and downloading movies etc. while on my
network (Plus if they try, it becomes easy to catch them, which has happened
before).

I've done testing for a client who has an open guest network and a lot
of people from the large international brand company next door use
their network for internet access, I guess it is to avoid their own
filters.

We have a captive portal with a user agreement that they have to agree to
before getting access to the internets.  Last year we had a law office
contact us about someone downloading a bittorrent for a popular movie at the
time and our verbiage on the captive portal seemed good enough for them.

Gentlemen,



I am tasked with providing a Guest Wi-Fi solution for one of my clients. The
client already has an enterprise WLAN which is secured with radius and all
that good stuff. Plan for the Guest Wi-Fi is to simply broadcast a second
SSID on a separate VLAN taking them straight out to an onsite DSL circuit.
Nothing fancy, no content filtering intended or desired by the client. Just
open internet obviously secured and separated from their private network. I
do intend to put up a captive portal or some sort of page which forces all
users accessing the guest network to ‘agree’ with the internet usage policy.



So my question here is does anyone know what I have to do to ensure that my
client is not liable for anything that happens on this guest network, i.e.
someone gets hacked, or some pervert is browsing from their IP and the FBI
get’s involved etc... My assumption is that you need to have a proper
captive portal with proper verbiage on your ‘user agreement’ and I’m also
assuming you need to log ‘clicks’ on the page when users ‘agree’ to your
usage policy.



Any experience or thoughts on this one?



Thanks,

Tim
